It worked beautifully Colin. Thank you so much. Your calm demeaner and excellent teaching skills are fabulous. I make art quilts from my own photos and had always struggles to make them into b&w images that kept the shadow gradients and lines without sacrificing the whites. Your tut here worked perfectly.

[@petronics2454]
